Those who look for seashells will find seashells; those who open them will find pearls.

The fantasy we had with pearls was always so luxurious and unique with a kind of rareness.

Do be true to yourself, whether it's bad doesn't matter. The important thing - you have to copy while you're studying. And culture is - each of us - is like one pearl added to another to make a chain. We each contribute to the other. And that's all right. But once you're on your own, do that which comes from within. And I feel this very strongly.
